Won on steamgifts
- Playing relaxing games gave me the incentive to finish some unpleasant games won on on SG years ago… as i already played the pleasant ones lol (obviously i stopped trying to win games that i wouldn’t enjoy)
- Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light - proof : won a decade ago, stopped when i was surrounded by spiders, finished on steam input as the game supports no more xbox 360 controller, lack of precision and general ambiance made it… not really fun.
- When Ski Lifts Go Wrong - proof : had played half of the game already years ago, now finished following a guide, most often a single solution by the milimeter, this one was totally infuriating
- Q.U.B.E. 2 - proof : i had given up at chapter 8 surprised by the creepy ambiance, now finished following a video guide, it’s a puzzle game, sometimes beautiful but the puzzles are really hard, and suddenly they can require timing and precision to step forward. In the end it was really Portal-like. Meh.

Have fun for next month !
Wow, what a month! You really tackled your backlog this month again! Congrats!
On a side note, I’ve begun Reus 2, that’s a really nice game, I’m gonna have fun with it :)
Thank you, it helps a lot to see how you’re still motivated here to fight against yours !
Though tbh the only games that came from the depths were the SG wons and the July theme, all the other ones were recent additions.
Wish you a good relaxing time on Reus 2 !
I’m kind of interested in that Broken Sword Remaster and definitely interested in the Duck Detective sequel. Secret Salami was pretty chill and funny.
Stellar month of backlog conquest. :)
Thank you very much ! ^^
This one is really Broken Sword 1 (without Director’s cut) remake. It seemed weaker than the Director’s cut but still fun !
Duck detective 2 is in the same tone and as short as secret salami but story is much better, you won’t be disappointed if you loved the 1st !
The Duck Detective games look so cute, might have to get them soon as well! Which one did you enjoy more, or were they quite equal?
Both are a breath of fresh air as this sort of funny point’n’click are quite rare, they are quite similar to Detective Grimoire / Tangle tower serie.
The 2nd is certainly better though, a bit longer (3h vs 2h), a better-written story in an outside environment.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the 1st one end up in a bundle.
Oh damn I remember suffering through “When Ski Lifts Go Wrong”, I did not have fun with it. Congrats on keeping it up!
Thank you, yeah i almost gave up multiple times cause it was a chore (like uninstall - reinstall on a loop lol)
I had entered the GA confusing it with Snowtopia: Ski Resort Builder
Oh noooooo hahaha Snowtopia looks much better thou haha I was lucky to play “Ski Lifts” on Humble Trove without having to buy it, and it was an insta-ignore for me 🤣
Let me know if you want a key for Snowtopia
Your suffering should be rewared ^^
Don’t worry i got Snowtopia too in the meantime from a humble bundle (and liked it) !
Still thank you very much that’s really kind of you ! :D
I’m glad you enjoyed it ^^
